The DHS Program, which manages registration and access for IPUMS DHS, is again reviewing new user applications and requests for expanded access from currently approved users.
Codes and Frequencies
Description
LAMP indicates whether the household had a lamp of a specified type.
Comparability
The type of lighting fixture specified in LAMP varies across samples.
The information in LAMP is taken from the household record, linked to the record of the woman respondent. This information applies to household residents, not temporary visitors, so researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2").
Comparability - Standard DHS
LAMP is a country-specific variable not included in the standard DHS questionnaire.
